After 10 years of blowing stuff up and reality-checking hundreds of myths, co-hosts Grant Imahara, Kari Byron and Tory Belleci are leaving on the popular science TV program.
In a video announcement yesterday on Discovery Channel, "MythBusters" hosts Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman revealed that long-time co-hosts and fan favorites Kari Byron, Grant Imahara, and Tory Belleci are no longer on the show as of the last episode of the season on Aug. 21.
"This next season we're going back to our origins with just Adam and me," Hyneman said in the video.
"We're gonna take a brief moment to thank you guys for your incredible work over the last 10 years," Savage said in the video. "You've given literally your blood, sweat and tears in the name of science and it has been a total pleasure not only to work with you but to call you our friends."
"We wish you the very best of luck and thank you," Hyneman said in the video.
Byron, Belleci and Imahara responded to the news and to their fans on Twitter.
"After a decade of the MythBusters, we are no longer with the show," Byron tweeted. "Thank you to all the fans who have supported us. The show is taking a new direction. It was an amazing run. I learned so much about myself and the world. I love you all. I am sad for an ending but there will be exciting new adventures for us."
"It's been an amazing ride for 10 years!" Belleci tweeted. "We couldn't have done it without you guys. You're the best fans anyone could wish for. Thank you. We are going to miss you guys! So much love & support. If it wasn't for you guys, MythBusters wouldn't have been possible."
"Thanks MythBusters for allowing us to teach science in a whole new way," Imahara tweeted. "Also, explosions. Now, on to the next adventure!"
The next adventures for the trio have yet to be announced, but Imahara did win an award last weekend at the Geekies Award Show for his performance in the Web series "Trek Continues" while encouraging girls to take an interest in STEM subjects. while Byron has been busy at the White House encouraging girls to take an interest in STEM (that is, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).
In honor of the trio, the MythBusters official site created this retrospective of Byron, Belleci and Imahara hard at work busting myths for a decade.
